SAN FRANClSCO, Sept. I7.-In the
spring of 1866 the Amethist, one of the
oldest whalers In the couptry, sailed
from here with crew of thirty eight
men. The last seen of her was in the

in confusion In the cabin, and the
whaling gear was covered with rust.
1t is believed that the entire crew was
lost.

establish Republic in its stead. The
Emperor, Dom Pedro, Is reported as
insane, by reason OF which the effort
to change the form of government is
thought to be encouraging rs to its
success, inasmucb as the Emperor Is
incapacitated to offer opposition. II
is not proposed to resort to sanguipary
measures, but to effect bloodless rev.
olution by educating the people up to
the standard of intelligent desire fol
self government. Donna Izabel. the

Col FRED GRANT has been placed
at the head of the Republican ticket
In New York, as the nominee for Sec
retary of State. We are not aware of
any striking manifestation of ability
by the Colonel which entities him to
partiality in estimating his aualifica
tons for this high Office. Perhaps il
is sufficient that he is the son of his
father, whose last days were troubled
sorely by financial l0sses which son
of more business capacity might have
prevented occurring through the rss-
eality of banking institution OF
which he was a member in an official
capacity. Capability, as well as hon.
esty-the latter qualification no one
will deny Col. Grant-is quite essen
tial to success, whether in an official
or private capacity.

Mr.. Michael Dsvitt, who bad imposed

barbsrities was constrained 10 give

and that opposition to such q govern
ment in any shape or form is q public

"wsuld be treasured up. They and

had sworn, TO carry on at any cost this
fight until landlord tyranny and
English Government were destroyed
in ireland" Bus even to this
dark cloud there IVES q silver lining.
The landlord OF the Ponsonby estates,
where q similar method had been
pursued. when these scenes at Bodyke
were being enacted was communicating
his purpose of justice and agreed to
accept the sums offered by his tenants.
This he had persistently refused, sup
ported as he was by the Landlords
Union and the whole power Of Sails
bury's government, organized as It ia
to crush the hfs out OF the people OF
Ireland. He distrsined his tenants and
finally evicted them under clrcum-
stances OF such extreme oppression ss
to force the pea eIul Father Keller to
courageous defiance which led to
his arrest aud incarceration in Dub
lin prison. And after all this the Pom
sonby agent confeSses himself wrong,
yields to the pressure OF "the plan OF

ants csn pay him. This is a happy
omen for the ultimate triumph
OF the tenantry of Ireland. Other
landlords. shsmed by the de-
nunoialions Of civilization, will yield,
and Salisbury, who is doing all

MADDEN AND BARRETT.


President Hidden and General Mana
ger Barrett "come together" as the
saying is, "the fur fies." 1t is a case
Of Greek meeting Greek. This the
people OF Memphis have seen any
time these two years. But, fun for
them, it is injurious to the interests
Of the people, and affords a bad ex-
ample. A fight wsged 30 long has
ceased to have any merit in 1t 30 far
% the public can discern. II 1t ever
had any, 1t has disappeared in the
bitterness OF one side and the rsncor
Of the other. There are times when
q maa, for instance, rides in one OF
the Poplar street cars, that, like the
ohildren's sway de-bueketee," goes mp
and down as il it was hung on CEN
trail piyot--in such case, even a
sweet-tempered Christian, who is sat-
isHed with Sc per cent per aDnum
profit, would be justified in a
short, sharp, vindiCtive expletive,
and the summary consignment OF
Mr.. Barrett to "blsEss." But even
such q sweet-tempered shaver
would feel like wiping out his
ansthemas If he gave Barrett's case
some e.udy. 1t is true be is a million
aire and sleeps on down and feathers
and lives on the fat OF the land, but
he ia far from being happy. Hidden
ia the torment Of his life; he is the
avenging Nemesis that turns his wine
sour and makes his milk as gall. Be-
sides this, the people curse him when
they have to wait over minute for a
car, COL. Niles Meriwether makes
him keep level with his tracks, and
the police have lynx eyes for every
dereliCtion Of the ordinances. Mr.
Barrett's life is anything but happy
one. And yet he is a useful man ant
q patient enc. He carries heavy losC
OF responsibility which Hsdden coulC
perhaps greatly tighten. His success
in life argues the possession OF a grea
deal Of merit and his title to publ,
